Two more suspicious deaths at Lexington, Ky., VA hospital

A special agent with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Office of Inspector General says there are at least two more suspicious deaths at Lexington's Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Those details emerged Thursday during Rick Ellison's testimony at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Lexington for Maria K. Whitt, a former nurse that has been charged in the death three years ago of a 90-year-old World War II veteran who was at the hospital off Cooper Drive.

In a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday, Whitt, 32, of Mount Sterling is charged with killing Jesse Lee Chain by injecting him with lethal levels of morphine.
